Of note: Of UM's 12 departing seniors, nine are starters, so the Hurricanes are looking for quality athletes and players to fill out the depth chart. Playing in the national championship game will help recruiting. Another thing that will help is the stability of the coaching staff. Larry Coker is not going anywhere, so recruits can trust they will have the same person who recruited them coaching them.

Coach's quote: "We're looking for a great anything. We're looking for a balanced class. We're losing some offensive linemen and defensive backs. Those are two areas that are strong areas for us. You always look for defensive linemen. Those are certainly primary areas." -- Coker
